Pretty cabs. I would never know that the last 3 were Rocky Butte if you hadn't said so.

I'm positive they're Rocky Butte...well...as positive as "I" can be! LOL Like them all, nice work brother. Thanks my friend! I love the polish this material takes! It is prone to fractures...but if you can get around them, it really is pretty material. Niiice! I think I like the last one best. I love the speckled blue.  Thanks Tela! That last one started out as a high dome because of the thick slab that "someone" cut. I didn't like the look of the cab with the high dome, so I kept grinding it down and those blue "speckles" really started coming out. Winner Winner Chicken Dinner! LOL |

Those are some beauties jasoninsd! That last one looks just like a preform I was calling "porcelain jasper" that I attacked with club wheels when they got them new. That is some hard stuff! |

Thanks Perk! I can count on one hand the amount of times I've lost a cab off the dop since I got my new machine...in fact probably only on a couple fingers. That last cab though...it was SO hard, I was putting way too much pressure on it to grind it on the 80 grit the other day, that I popped it right off the dop! Had to reglue it and wait another two days to finish it! LOL |

I need to borrow some patience. I popped the dop off on mine too! That might partially been due to the new un-broken-in chippy wheels though. I use locktite gel-bond super glue to drop, and it takes like 15 minutes to dry so I don't care too much if one falls off. |

I use locktite gel-bond super glue to drop, and it takes like 15 minutes to dry so I don't care too much if one falls off. I put mine on with Gorilla Super Glue Gel. Once I get the dops set on the glue, I pour baking soda over the glue, then leave them for 4-6 hours. The baking soda sets them faster than the 4-6 hours that I wait, but I don't like chancing them popping off...and it's a lot faster than the old 48 hours I used to wait. LOL |

LOL You can get a spray on accelerator. All it takes is a squirt and it doesn't make a mess. A little bottle goes a long ways.

Thanks Tela! I looked into that. It's just cheaper to raid my wife's kitchen material...once again.  |
